Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Election in Norwich and Chenango county resulted in a sweeping Republican victory, all of the candidates of that party being chosen by pluralities ranging from 4,000 to 700. The first figures show the popularity of Neil D. Lewis, who was elected sheriff by the largest plurality ever given to a candidate in Chenango county. Bert Lord was re-elected assemblyman and Frank J. Quinn superintendent of the poor by pluralities of nearly 3,000, a rare endorsement of the record of public officials. A strong fight was made upon the Republican candidate, Irving J. Tillman, for county clerk, with the result that his plurality was cut down to about 700. Equal suffrage lost out in the county by about 350. The city of Norwich voted favorably to the ladies by about 150.
The result may be considered as a compliment to the clean and efficient methods of Republican County Chairman James S. Flanagan in conducting the campaign.
